FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - COMMUNITY HEALTH PARTNERSHIP OF ILLINOIS (CHP) IS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) WITH A STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO ITS MISSION. FOR OVER 50 YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING AND DELIVERING QUALITY, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE HEALTH CARE TO OUR PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND COMMUNITIES. SINCE OUR INCEPTION, WE HAVE STRIVED TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF MIGRANT AND SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL WORKERS (MSAWS). IN 2020, WE EXPANDED OUR OUTREACH AND SERVICES TO OTHER LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE SERVICE AREA. CHP EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING THE UNINSURED, UNDERSERVED, AND MSAWS, TO ATTAIN THEIR BEST HEALTH. TODAY, CHP IS THE PRIMARY SAFETY-NET PROVIDER FOR MSAWS AND MEDICALLY VULNERABLE NORTH AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS POPULATIONS. OUR NETWORK COMPRISES SEVEN BRICK-AND-MORTAR HEALTH CENTERS, FOUR DENTAL SITES, TWO MOBILE MEDICAL/DENTAL CLINICS, AND MULTIPLE OUTREACH SITES ACROSS RURAL AND URBAN COMMUNITIES. ALL CHP’S HEALTH CENTER SITES ARE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED TO RESPOND TO THE PRIMARY CARE NEEDS OF THE MIGRANT POPULATION AND LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS IN CONVENIENT ACCESSIBLE LOCATIONS. CHP’S SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. CHP SERVES A VAST GEOGRAPHICAL AREA ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS, INCLUDING SIX COUNTIES: KANKAKEE, CHAMPAIGN, KANE, LASALLE, PEORIA, AND MCHENRY. ALL SIX COUNTIES ARE FEDERALLY DESIGNATED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS (HPSAS) BASED ON LOW CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THE PRIMARY CARE, ORAL HEALTH CARE, AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTIES. THE SERVICE AREA INCLUDES 224 FARMS WITH MORE THAN 8,300 WORKERS, WITH MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS SEASONAL WORKERS. THE MSAW POPULATION FACES MANY CHALLENGES AND BARRIERS TO ACCESSING CARE, INCLUDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. CHP’S OUTREACH INITIATIVE, PROMOTORES DE SALUD, PROVIDES IMPACTFUL OUTREACH AND CONNECTION TO NEEDED SERVICES FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WHERE MANY (65%) NEED LANGUAGE SUPPORT. IN 2021, C HP ADDED A COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER AND A PATIENT HEALTH NAVIGATOR PROGRAM TO BETTER SUPPORT AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. THE TARGET POPULATION EXPERIENCES A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTHCARE NEEDS, INCLUDING CHRONIC CONDITIONS AND SIGNIFICANT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES. THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR TARGET POPULATION IN THE SERVICE AREA ARE WELL-DOCUMENTED FOR BOTH MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. CHP’S MENTAL HEALTH HPSA SCORE IS 19, REPRESENTING A SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR ACCESSIBLE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES. FINDINGS FROM A 2021 ILLINOIS RURAL HEALTH SUMMIT IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGES OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AT CRISIS LEVELS ACROSS RURAL ILLINOIS, INCLUDING CHP COUNTIES. CHP IS REQUESTING FUNDING TO ESTABLISH INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES USING A HUB AND SPOKE MODEL ACROSS ITS NETWORK OF SEVEN HEALTH CENTER SITES. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL INCLUDE THE NECESSARY FUNDING TO INVEST IN PROVIDER CAPACITY AND ONE-TIME INVESTMENTS INTO FACILITY ENHANCEMENT TO OFFER EXPANDED MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES FOR RESIDENTS. WITH HRSA FUNDING, CHP WILL ADD BEHAVIORAL HEALTH STAFFING, INCLUDING 4.5 FTE THERAPISTS (LCSWS OR LCPCS), A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIRECTOR, A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COORDINATOR, A PART-TIME PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER, AND A PART-TIME PSYCHIATRIST. THE REQUESTED STAFF WILL SUPPORT EXPANDED SERVICES BASED ON THE PRIMARY CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MODEL (PCBH). THIS EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO PRIMARY CARE INTEGRATES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES INTO PRIMARY CARE SETTINGS TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE AND HOLISTIC CARE TO OUR PATIENTS. CHP REQUESTS ONE-TIME SUPPORT TO UPDATE THREE (3) HEALTH CENTER SITES TO ACCOMMODATE EXPANDED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY. THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH STAFFING PLUS ONE-TIME INVESTMENTS IN OUR FACILITIES WILL SERVE AS A CATALYST TO PROVIDE CRITICAL MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES FOR SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS.
